PUTIN endorses TRUMP: "He’s the absolute leader in the presidential race.”



Putin Praises Trump as ‘Brilliant and Talented’

Russian President Vladimir Putin had kind words for his “stablemate” Donald Trump during a press conference, The Hill reports.

Said Putin: “He’s a really brilliant and talented person, without any doubt. It’s not our job to judge his qualities, that’s a job for American voters, but he’s the absolute leader in the presidential race.”

is or has given Putin to say that he endorses Trump? Who cares what endorsements he gets from other countries anyway? One thing that I am afraid of is Trump's willing to buddy up to any dictator taking America down with him and selling us out!
